Answer:
x = -11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios need to stay the same
5x 11
----- = -------
x-2 3
Using cross products
5x*3 = (x-2) 11
15x = 11x - 22
Subtract 11 from each side
15x-11x = -22
4x = -22
x = -22/4
x = -11/2
Answer:
$179.94 for 5 pairs of jeans
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = ±4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out quadratic
2x² - 5 = 27
Step 2: Add 5 to both sides
2x² = 32
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2
x² = 16
Step 4: Take the square root of both sides
x = ±4
∴ x can equal -4 or 4
Answer: n=6
Step-by-step explanation:
2^3 x 4^3 = 2^3 x 2^n = 2^9
(2×2×2) ×(4×4×4) = (2x2x2) ×2^n=(2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2)
8 x 64 = 8x 2^n = 512
512= 8x 2^n = 512
divide all through by 8 so that 2^n can stand alone
512/8 = (8x 2^n)/8 = 512/8
64 = 2^n = 64
express 64 as a base of 2
2^6 = 2^n = 2^6
since they all have same base, cancel out the base.
therefore,
6=n=6
n = 6
